So this thread is now pointless as the Devs have done such a good thing, a first i think out of any other game company EVER!!
the have put up a brilliant new post of the release date in different time zones! this is amazing and so helpfull
Everyone should do this when things come out
So is the update for the 28th usa time zone? or do us oceanic folk get it on the 28th?
And if we dont get it on the 28th - which for us NZ peeps *is in 2 hours ish* then people when putting release dates, state what coutry/time zone that the release is for!
This is just a annoying thing i have with most games that do this, *not tallking about NS2 here, cuz many games will be "This is released on the ***th of this month" only to wait till that day and we cant actually play it till usa time zone.
I think the devs need to specify the country and time zone that there basing there content release date on.
Sorry for the rant, i went abit off track there, but i feel that im not the only one who feel like this, were usually always left in the dark about this stuff

Also, no such thing as 29th this year.
See now this could all be avoided if they would just say something like "New update out on 28th USA time zone bla de blah"
Do you get what im saying?
I have never found it to be a problem. I understand how time zones work and factor that in accordingly. I don't expect European game developers to conform to Alaskan Standard Time now do I? And I definitely don't get mad if they don't.
Patience, sir, Gore Tunnels shall come. To you and I, the hours we wait will be the same, even though our clocks may be different.
Anyway what im trying to get at, is for devs to avoid making people feel like there getting shafted, by just stating in there notes the exact time zone and country that the update or watever it may be will be released, then we can all fully understand with no one like my self slaming my face into the ground haha
i mean, it is a bit ignorant to be honest, just putting a date up assuming that everyone knows that its only referring to usa time.
its things like that, that make me feel as if gamer devs are only catering towards there own country and that the rest of the world can just get lost..sigh
Maybe if UWE had there own platform, exact time could be given, but since it has to go valve first. They have no control on when.
Your common sense tells you that it will be released on the native date. Everything else is blaming other people because of natural circumstances so simple but not foreseeable by you.
Snip, keep it clean
What I find intensely irritating is the way films are released in the US, then we have to wait MONTHS for them in the UK. It's not like they have to put reels on ships!
@UWE Make sure you guys buy some beers for the fridge for when the update is done. You've definitely earned it!
